Henry Kissinger wrote:
The Westphalian peace reflected a practical accommodation to reality, not a unique moral insight. It relied on a system of independent states refraining from interference in each other's domestic affairs and checking each other's ambitions through a general equilibrium of power. No single claim to truth or universal rule had prevailed in Europe's contests. Instead, each state was assigned the attribute of sovereign power over its territory. Each would acknowledge the domestic structures and religious vocations of its fellow states and refrain from challenging their existence.[8]

Yeah. Even though that's not in the actual language of the treaty that's how everyone felt at that time. It's also the first time Europeans remembered a war being really bad, the way we imagine WWI and WWII today. There was a "never again" thing happening.
What's wild is that England too underwent a kooky civil war around the same time as Germany but for totally unrelated reasons. They just happened to have an out of control king who had to be put down like a shitpit, and somehow this triggered about a decade of fighting between religious sects all over the British isles
